Shutterfly Inc. plans to jump the state line with a project that would put 416 jobs in Fort Mill.

The online photo-book publishing company confirms it is leasing a renovated 303,000-square-foot building that overlooks Interstate 77 for a $60 million development.

“While this means Shutterfly will close its existing facility in Charlotte, the new location is 10 miles from the current facility, enabling Shutterfly to retain existing employees and create hundreds of new jobs in the region,” spokeswoman Gretchen Sloan says.

The new facility is scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2013. The existing Charlotte facility will be fully operational until that time.

Beacon Partners of Charlotte last month paid $4.7 million for the vacant building that once housed United American Video.

York County Council members voted Monday night to support the move, which carries the code name “Project Orange.” The council is expected to vote Oct. 1 on specific incentives that will be offered to Shutterfly.

Mark Farris, director of the York County Economic Development Board, declines to discuss the project.

Shutterfly is based in Redwood City, Calif., with a production center outside San Francisco. It opened its East Coast manufacturing center in Charlotte in 2007. It now operates in 85,000 square feet in Shopton Ridge Industrial Park, south of Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

That $31.5 million plant in Charlotte drew the promise of up to $3.8 million in state and local incentives. At the time, the company said it planned to hire 230 full-time employees during the following three years. In 2007, Shutterfly executives also said the company would potentially spend another $75 million in the Charlotte region in the future. The company didn’t elaborate on what that expenditure would pay for.

“Fort Mill is an ideal location for its proximity to Charlotte, local talented labor pool and significant support from the South Carolina Department of Commerce,” Sloan says. “We’ve been greatly honored to have been a part of Charlotte’s community for the past six years.”

During its time in Charlotte, the company had hired as many as 700 temporary employees during gift-giving seasons. Shutterfly began looking earlier this year for a developer to build a manufacturing and distribution center in the region, one source says.

Shutterfly stores customers’ photographs on remote servers and sells prints, photo calendars, greeting cards, books and other items, such as coffee mugs, decorated with the photographs.

The company was founded in 1999. Shutterfly shares the online photo-sharing market with Hewlett-Packard Co.’s Snapfish site. The company also operates sites such as tinyprints.com, weddingpaperdivas.com and treat.com, all devoted to online greeting-card services and printed products for special events.

UAV closed in 2006, eliminating 300 York County jobs and an additional 600 positions around the country. Trader Marc’s, an indoor flea market, opened in the building in 2009 but closed after about two years. The former UAV site, at 2200 Carolina Place, totals 47 acres.
